Comment Comment by anotherhacker I have a BFA.I taught myself programming (C++) when I was 15 (1995). I made simple puzzle games on my Mac.The internet got big and I got into HTML and JS.I didn't go to college for Computer Science b/c it sounded like I'd end up wearing a white coat and working at IBM.I went to Art School b/c it was the closest thing to programming. Programming and Art are the same in that you create something from nothing.When coding became "cool" (2004 ish) I picked it up again. parent anotherhacker 9 years ago
